Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Dass was fab taking us for our sunset horse ride, and lovely Ruci leaving messages with leaves on our beds each day, making our day. Honestly the friendliness and kindness of the staff made the stay beautiful.

New ZealandThe price of the Buffet dinner was way too high for the food options.
The staff customer service was amazing right from the start to the end. I had great conversations with a few of the staff. I will not name them, but they are such beautiful people. The Buffet breakfast was lovely. There were so many food options to choose from. The pool and view from that area were picturess. We really loved the Fire Dancing performance 😍

AustraliaThey wasn't really a beach and you have to drive a small bit to get to any of the main areas of Fiji. The pool was fantastic though
The Buffet Breakfasts were so nice! The chefs really do go above and beyond for them. The staff were amazing treating you like royalty and like you are apart of their family which we loved! The room was so cozy and the bathroom was so modern and clean. They have 2 restaurants on site which means after a few days we got sick of the same types of food but the different cuisine buffets at night were a hit. This isn't advertised on their website but should be!

United States of AmericaA $400 deposit on arrival was quite steep we thought. Food service not fantastic, waiting times are quite long & 24hr food service not as advertised. The tipping culture is massive here and sometimes we did feel quite pressured to tip. The whole place essentially closes up at 9pm, more family orientated.
Property is absolutely stunning , views are amazing. Most staff are very friendly. Food is good enough standard. Reasonable pricing.

AustraliaThe only downside of the property (being very picky) is that the beach is not a swimming beach. It is a little expensive to get into town so make sure you think about this before you book. There was also no microwave in the room. These things did not worry us at all.
We had the most amazing stay at Sonaisali Island. Our room was always clean and comfortable, air conditioning worked well. The cleaning staff left us a little box of scones on our last night which were delicious. The staff at the property were so helpful and friendly. The food was always delicious and reasonably priced ($25 AUD for a delicious burger and chips). So many activities to do on the island every day. Perfect place to stay if you are looking for a relaxing holiday. A big special thank you to Sala, Aporossa, Sevenaia and Vara for always having the time to stop and chat to us, nothing was ever a bother for them. This was the second time we have stayed at Sonaisali and will always book here when we come to Fiji. VINAKA!!

AustraliaGood quality was average, particularly the dinners. Outside baymaries were covered in small Insects making the food inedible. For the price its was poor. Breakfasts were good. Room was nice although our door often stuck and was hard to open. (Bungalow 35). Extra deposits and credit card charges were not clearly stipulated in the ad which added additional an expense that wasn’t returned for over a week.
The site, amenities and location albeit you needed a boat to get to it which wasn’t mentioned. Staff were very friendly.
